Object classification

– moving or not moving

  • Moving flag is set when a speed is detected

– Observed moving or not observed moving

  • Observed moving flag is set when keep moving more

than a period of time

Wavelet-based feature extraction

  • Collect coefficients for the current level i
  • Label each coefficient with label of level i-1
  • Compute using these labels

1 if y[n]- >=di

  • Class(y[n], i)=

0 otherwise

Yielding

  • T required =Tact+Tdelay+Tspace
  • L yeild polygon=V maxlane · T required +d safety

Distance Keeping

  • vcmd=Kgap·(dtarget-ddesired)
  • ddesired=max(vtarget·lvehicle/10, dmingap)
  • acmd=amin+Kaccvcmd·(amax-amin)

Merge Planning

  • dmerge=12m
  • dobst=v0·dinit/(v0-v1)
  • X0-lvehicle-X1>=max(v1·lvehicle/10, dmingap)
  • X1-lvehicle-X0>=max(v1·lvehicle/10, dmingap)

Lessons Learned

  • Sensors are insufficient for urban driving
  • Road shape estimation maybe replaced by estimating

position relative to the road

  • Human level driving require a rich representation
  • Validation and verification of the system is an

unsolved problem

  • Driving is a social activity

Conclusion

  • A moving obstacle and static obstacle detection and tracking

system

  • A road navigation system that combines road localization and

road shape estimation where road geometry is not available

  • A mixed-mode planning system that is able to both efficiently

navigate on roads and safely maneuver through open areas and parking lots

  • A behavioral engine that is capable of both following the rules
  • f the road and violating them when necessary
  • A development and testing methodology that enables rapid

development and testing of highly capable autonomous vehicles
